Looking for info/possibly cousins of those listed below..... Alexander Hunter was born in Scotland about the year 1749. He was first recorded as a member of the Continental Navy in 1776-1777. Upon his discharge he immediately enlisted in the MA Militia ( his enlistment was credited to the town of Rehoboth,MA) for a 3 year term.. In Nov. of 1777 he married Sarah Peccom a widow from Dartmouth, MA. A son John B. was born abt. 1780 beleived to be the only issue. John married Hanna Thompson in New Bedford on Aug. 31, 1805. They had a daughter Emily and a son William Merry Hunter. It appears after Alex's death in 1822 the family moved to Providence, Rhode Island where Willam married Susan S Allen and Emily married Simeon Peckham . William served in the Civil War and had 7 issue. It is thought Emily and Simeon had no children. Williams' youngest son Alex was my grandfather and his son Charles A, born in 1904 was my father.
